Hi all,
I recently met @jacobtomlinson https://github.com/jacobtomlinson at a hackathon in London, with the Software Underground (SWUNG) https://softwareunderground.org/ group. He introduced us to the Pangeo community and ecosystem and mentioned that introducing myself on here might be the best way to be involved. I am a PhD student at Oxford looking at drought monitoring and prediction in East Africa.
I am a frequent user of xarray and have recently been working on a project to combine seasonal forecast models with machine learning methods to better predict drought. The project (repo here https://github.com/esowc/ml_drought) is part of the ECMWF Summer of Weather Code https://www.ecmwf.int/en/learning/workshops/ecmwf-summer-weather-code-2019 and I am working with my collaborator and friend @gabrieltseng https://github.com/gabrieltseng. I am already so grateful for people's help with my questions on StackOverflow and GitHub.
I am particularly interested in using Dask and the compute resources / datasets that you guys have collected. This would really help working with datasets and processes that I struggle to fit into my laptop's memory!
The binder repositories are such a great help and I am super grateful for the time you have spent sharing these tools and resources with the wider geoscientific community. Something that I think would be interesting would be to explore how meterological drought indices (SPI / SPEI) change in the future CMIP6 model scenarios under different global warming conditions (may have already been done!).
Thanks again for setting up this group! Let me know how I can get involved and if there's anything that sounds interesting to you!
Kind Regards Tommy
